About Commonwealth Senior Living at Churchland House

from Oasis Senior Advisors

Commonwealth Senior Living at Churchland House offers residents two primary care settings: Assisted Living for those who need day-to-day support with activities of daily living and a dedicated Memory Care program for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Short-term respite stays are available, and both care levels are backed by 24-hour staffing to address needs as they arise. Diabetes monitoring, on-site physician oversight, and regular speech therapy sessions help residents manage chronic conditions and maintain communication skills.

The community is a secured environment designed specifically for memory loss, adding an extra layer of safety for residents who may be prone to wandering. Medical coordination extends to medication management, incontinence and ambulatory care, hospice support, and routine visits from physical, occupational, and speech therapists. An optometrist, dentist, and podiatrist come to the building, reducing the need for outside appointments and transportation. These on-site services allow most routine and specialized healthcare to take place without leaving the community.

Apartments and suites are available in several layouts, all air-conditioned and equipped for cable or satellite TV and Wi-Fi. Some units add wheelchair-accessible showers, handicap-accessible features, or views of the landscaped outdoor areas. Residents who have a pet should note that some accommodations are pet-friendly, while others are not, and it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Parking is available for those who drive, and common areas include a piano or organ for informal gatherings and events.

Meals are prepared on-site, and menus accommodate low- or no-sodium and no-sugar diets. All-day dining lets residents choose when they eat, and visiting family members may purchase guest meals so that loved ones can dine together. Staff monitor nutritional intake and coordinate with healthcare providers when dietary adjustments are required.

Daily life is rounded out by clubs and interest groups, a library and computer lounge, bingo, karaoke sessions, happy hours, yoga and chair yoga classes, sensory-based programs, and intergenerational activities. Residents can attend birthday parties, dances, live music events, and social outings, or spend time outdoors in secure courtyards. An activity center supports hobbies and small gatherings, helping residents stay engaged and connected.

Residents and their families say:

This community receives mixed reviews concerning the quality of care and facilities provided. Many reviewers express satisfaction with the attentive and caring staff, praising their friendliness and competence. Positive remarks are frequently made about the well-prepared meals and the clean and welcoming environment. The variety of activities offered, such as bingo, Bible study, chair yoga, and craft programs, is appreciated for keeping residents engaged and entertained. Many find comfort in the ability to personalize living spaces, which helps create a homely atmosphere. The outdoor patio areas are mentioned as particularly enjoyable for residents.

However, there are concerns about certain aspects such as maintenance and staff responsiveness, with one reviewer noting a long-standing maintenance issue and a lack of assistance from staff in a particular instance. Additionally, some perceive the facility as expensive and comment on its outdated appearance relative to other options. The community's smaller size and layout drew mixed reactions; while some appreciate the close-knit feel, others find the room sizes and layouts less than ideal. The community does not accept Medicaid, which is a factor for some potential residents.

Overall, this community offers a caring environment with a range of activities and attentive staff, though opinions vary on the facility's upkeep, cost, and specific service issues. Prospective residents and their families are encouraged to tour and assess whether the community meets their specific needs and preferences.
